custom link to map element

[griffin]

Hi - I'd really appreciate some help ...

I have list "courses" with database join element "location" (courses_location) from list "location" element "address3" (location_address3) which shows the City where the course is to be held, and I want to have custom link to show the map of that location - from the element "location_map" - for attendees to be able to get the map.

I have tried "index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=4&rowid={rowid}" but this takes to the form of the record in location with the matching rowid which isn't necessarily the correct row.

Ideally I would like the custom link to display the correct record in a new window and only display the map element.

Thanks in advance for any help here.

Your database join element contains the rowid of the location (if you have value=id[recommended]), so use
index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=4&rowid={your-dbjoin-element_raw}

To get a form with only the map element:
copy the location list to e.g. location-map-only, this will create new list/group/form/elements linked to the same DB table.
Go to elements, disable all but id and location_map of location-map-only
Call the new form in your custom link
